Course Description:

Students will make appropriate sheet metal repairs using correct repair procedures, tools, andmaterials. They will be required to demonstrate correct use of and interpretation of structuralrepair diagrams and correct interpretation of charts and tables from AC 43, 13-1B pertaining tomaterials and methods.

Prerequisite: AVT 101, 111, 113, MATH 108 or 125.

Department Attendance Policy:

Attendance is mandatory. Students are expected to be in class and lab on time. Three latearrivals will be counted against the student as one unexcused absence. Unexcused absences orhabitual tardiness will result in a cumulative reduction of the student's final grade pointaverage: First unexcused absence results in a one-point reduction of the final grade (0-100scale). Second absence results in a two-point reduction. Third absence results in a four-pointreduction. Fourth absence results in an eight-point reduction. Fifth absence results in asixteen-point reduction. After the fifth unexcused absence the cumulative grade reductionwould be 31 points, making it impossible to receive a passing grade for the course.

Make up time may be granted at the discretion of the instructor. Final determination as towhether or not an absence is "excused" rests with the instructor. Performance of make-up timedoes not reinstate points lost due to unexcused absences. Makeup instruction will only beprovided if approved, coordinated and completed within two weeks of an absence. Failure to make up lost time will reduce grades per occurrence.

My Attendance Policy

In my experience, attendance is the single biggest predictor of failure or success. I will bemuch stricter on attendance this year.

Unless you can provide medical documentation that you are unconscious, any no-show will beunexcused. If you are experiencing an emergency, you may notify me via email, text, or voicemail. Unscheduled medical will be excused with a copy of a doctor’s excuse (a walk outstatement is not an excuse).

In order to be excused, you must speak with me personally. You will need to provide excusedocumentation and makeup work within 2 weeks. Otherwise the time can not be made up.

Online Classroom:

This class will use the Desire 2 Learn online classroom management system (online.siu.edu)for communication. Your grades and attendance will be posted online. You may view andreview them at any time. Monitoring your grades and your attendance is YOUR responsibility.

Attendance will be noted:

P: Student was Present. Grade reduction unless Excused w/in 2 weeks.-1: Student missed an hour. Grade reduction unless Excused w/in 2 weeks.-2: Student missed two hours. Grade reduction unless Excused w/in 2 weeks.-3: Student missed three hours. Grade reduction unless Excused w/in 2 weeks.T: Tardy. Three T’s count for one AU. Cannot be made up.

Your instructor will often use emails to communicate with you. Make sure that your registeredemail is up to date, and that you monitor it regularly.

iClicker Info:

iClickers are required for the lecture portion of this class. You may purchase them new or usedfrom the bookstore. You will need to register your clicker online. Most days, iClickers will beused to take a short graded review quiz at the beginning of class. Failure to bring an iClicker toclass will be treated as a tardy. If you are absent or tardy for any reason, you will not have theopportunity to make up the iClicker quiz.

Precision:

Sheet metal work requires precision calculation, layout, and work. Grades will be based uponprecision. Generally, I expect you to work to the nearest ±1/32 of an inch. This will requiresharp pencils and fine tip Sharpies.

Tools:

You are expected to provide your own tools, and to learn how to read them. Failure to provideyour own tools will result in loss of grade. If you have trouble with the tools on the list, youmay purchase alternate tools to do the job. For example, if you have trouble reading a ruler tothe nearest 100th of an inch, buy and bring a digital caliper.

Lab Grades:

Daily Points: Each day in the lab, students will receive a 10 point daily score. This score willbe based on participation, attitude, and clean up. There will be a total of 150 daily pointsavailable. If you don't bring your tools, you will loose points, also.

Project Points: There are 5 major projects in this class. They are as follows:

• Rivet Plate: 50 points. Due date: Week 3• Spar Splice: 100 points. Due Date: Week 7• Airfoil Shape: 100 points. Due Date: Week 11• Curved Ribs (2): 50 points. Due Date: Week 13• Curved Section: 100 points. Due Date: Week 16

These must be individually completed in the lab environment. You may work ahead. Note thatfor many students, this will require additional time for you to come in and work. I will arrangeadditional times later during class.

In addition to the major projects, there will be five layout projects. These projects will be worth25 points each. Some time will be provided in class to work on them, but much of the workwill likely have to be completed on your own time. These will be paper based, and need not becompleted in the lab. Due dates will be provided later in the class.

Late Work: Lab projects that are not handed in at the specified times will be penalized at therate of 10% per week. Absences will not necessarily change these due dates.

Lab Summary: 150 daily + 400 major + 125 layout = 675 points total

Classroom Conduct:

Appropriate classroom conduct at the college level includes being on time and prepared forclass. It includes behaving respectfully towards other students and instructors. Disrespectfulbehaviors are beneath the standards of college level students, and may result in your beingexcused from this class. This would be counted as an unexcused absence per the attendancepolicy.

Cell phones and electronic devices should be turned off during class, except for when they arespecifically allowed by the instructor. No phone calls or text messages may be received or sentduring class, unless prior approval has been received from the instructor. Receiving a call ortext in class may be counted as a “late” attendance grade.

Grading:

A B C D F

90 - 100 80 - 89 70 - 79 60 - 69 < 60

Lecture grades, lab grades, and the final exam will count for 1/3 each in the final grade. Youmust have at least a 70% to receive FAA credit for the course. The lecture grade may be basedon tests, quizzes, homework, and class participation. The lab grade is based on participationand completion of ALL lab projects. The final exam is comprehensive.

Two separate sets of grades are maintained: SIU grades and FAA grades. Our FAAaccreditation requires posting a separate grade for lecture, final exam and lab on the FAAstudent record card. The FAA requires a grade of 70 in order to pass. Failure to complete all ofthe labs will result in an grade of INC.

Incomplete Grades:

Per University policy, a grade of “Incomplete” or “INC” is assigned only when, for reasonsbeyond their control, a student engaged in passing work is unable to complete all classassignments and /or laboratory projects. The “INC” will be changed to a completed gradewithin the time period specified by the instructor, but will not exceed one year from the closeof the term in which the course was taken. Should a student fail to complete all courserequirements within the time period designated, the “INC” will be converted to a letter grade of“F.”

Safety:

This class involves power tools and sharp edges. There is a very real threat of injury. No horseplay will be tolerated in the lab. Appropriate shoes are required to be worn while in the labs. Eye protection will be required at all times in the shop area. Dress to get dirty during lab hours.

University Standard of Academic Honesty:

All courses offered by the college will be conducted in concert with the ethical standards of theaviation profession and the SILTC policy on academic honesty. This policy may be found inthe Undergraduate Catalog. Each student is responsible for being aware of and understandingthe policies and procedures in the Undergraduate catalog that pertain to Academic Integrity.These policies include cheating, fabrication, falsification and forgery, multiple submissions,plagiarism, complicity and computer misuse.

Cheating or fraud with an iClicker is included in this definition.

Emergency Procedures:

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is committed to providing a safe and healthyenvironment for study and work.
